My Prediction
Portland Thorns FC by 2Well, if you're a fan of keeping scoring statisticians on their toes, Portland Thorns FC versus Bay FC is bound to be the matchup for you. Let's dive right in.
Our goalkeepers, Bella Bixby for the Thorns and Jordan Silkowitz for Bay FC, have identical ratings. However, Silkowitz brings home the bacon in the saves department. Popcorn is in order when these two take the field, that's for sure.
Turning our gaze to the top players, the Thorns bring a formidable lineup to the table. Samantha Coffey, Jayden Perry, and Caiya Hanks are all worth mentioning. Coffey's got quite the golden foot with an impressive 90.0% accurate pass percentage. Perry and Hanks ain’t left behind either, showing their mettle with 1 goal and diligently keeping the ball on target.
Not to be outdone, Bay FC's Penelope Hocking's been keeping goalkeepers on their toes. In a league where hat-tricks are as rare as a steak at a vegan buffet, Hocking's netted herself 3 goals. Caroline Conti and Racheal Kundananji have proven to be influential players as well.
If the past is any guide to the future - and in soccer, let's face it, it usually is - the two previous encounters between these teams have been closely contested affairs. The last season saw each team taking home a win apiece.
However, the Thorns have a slight edge when we examine their recent performances. They've shown stronger form, winning 3 of their last 5 matches compared to Bay FC's single win in their last 5.
Looking at this season records for both teams, It's safe to say that the Thorns have been pricklier opponents as well. More victories under their belt than Bay FC, they've been more than just an annoying thorn in their opponent's sides.
All things considered, the smart money's on Portland Thorns FC.
